We are looking for someone to join the team at Peterborough Register Office as a Registration Support Officer working four days a week, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.
You will be the first point of contact with the public when on reception, organising and appearing at citizenship ceremonies, and delving into our archives to produce historical certificates.
You’ll also be ushering and registering at marriages and civil partnerships, so will need to be confident in front of an audience. In addition to this, you’ll be involved in a range of other administration work underpinning our service.

This is a demanding position in a busy office, but if you think you have the experience and enthusiasm to deliver it, we’d love to hear from you.
